Sue Raymond

Hello, I am Sue, an experienced BACP registered Humanistic counsellor working with individual adults aged 18 years and above. I work face-to-face, online and by phone.

 If you are feeling stuck in life, I understand how important it is to find the support you need before you reach a crisis point. Whether you are affected by anxiety or depression; or are facing difficulties leading you to feel you no longer enjoy the things you used to love; I offer a calm and reflective space where I listen with focus and compassion as you share your story. Learning to view yourself with curiosity and not judgement, helps to increase self-compassion and improve the relationship you have with yourself and others around you.

Together we will work to discover the root causes of your concerns. Through having this consistent support you can be given tools to get on top of your difficulties.

Timing is everything in therapy; if you are ready to make a change I offer a free 30-minute introductory chat to see if I am the right counsellor for you.

Issues I work with:

As well as experience in dealing with a broad range of issues I have worked with clients experiencing:

• Loss of identity after death of loved ones
• Low self-esteem
• Anxiety and Depression
• Relationship issues
• Trauma
• Difficult childhood experiences

What therapy with me is like:

Our therapy space is your time to meet regularly with a counsellor trained not only in listening with sensitivity and empathy; but who is also able to detect patterns of behaviour by being able to step back and look at the whole of the content you bring. This is the chance to reflect and gain clarity into why you react the way you do; giving you a deeper understanding of yourself.

I aim to build trust with you, by creating a respectful and reflective space that allows you to explore emotions that can hold you ‘hostage’ if left unexpressed. I believe that therapy is a dialogue so I always work at a pace that you feel comfortable with.  I tailor my approach to bring the greatest benefit to you. There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to counselling, as I believe the best therapy for you will always be as unique as you are.

We can work together to:

•  Explore your life experiences and how they might affect how you relate to the people in your life
•  Discover how ways of being in the past might no longer be serving you, and help you find a new way to support yourself that is a healthier way to cope 
•  Look at the meaning in your life and what choices you can make to bring yourself closer to living in line with your values 
•   look at what might be keeping you 'stuck', and together we can find new perspectives that will allow for change

Let's find the right questions for you leading to answers that will connect to the strength already inside yourself.
